The record
This Australian deck follows in the tradition of Doreen Virtues many Oracles (the Magical Unicorn Oracle, Goddess Guidance Oracle, Magical Mermaids and Dolphins Oracle, Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle etc), in that the Dragonfae Oracles artwork is the result of several artists, in the case of this deck, seven. For a deck celebrating the Goddess in her form as the Dragon, it seems appropriate that all the artists are women. 23 of the 43 cards in the deck are by Michele-lee Phelan and some of these are extraordinary. Dragon-imagery appears in all of her cards, sometimes partially (for example, the scales which appear around some of the characters eyes). Grandmother Magicks wears a fantastic dress, made of 4 layers of large, veined and fiery red/orange leaves. (Spirit-world wanderers will recognise this imagery.) Chumara is another fantastical image. Aside from the form of the Dragon, the Goddesss other popular manifestation appears as the Spider, who waits in her web on Chumaras third eye. Surrounding her are the colours of the rainbow, from red to purple, merging with each other as they progress. Fantastic! Without wishing to hurt anyones feelings, I have to say
